Can anyone explain to me how the article or even title of the article would make someone think the FTC was doing something and then require such a statement from pg?
It is referenced in both as a complaint and is news for wired readers, not necessarily here (though the FTC complaint being filed here is new).
That was my fault. I originally wrote the hed as "FTC Complaint: Dropbox Lied to Users about Data Security", which I thought would get around people reading just the "Dropbox Lied To Users" part. PG changed it to the hed from the article, I suppose to make sure nobody thought the complaint originated from the FTC.
